Looking at the phone, Yuan Zhou made a decision in his heart. Then, he picked up the phone and made another call.
On the other side, after Ling Hong put away his phone, he looked at ruan Xiaoqing who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed. Despite his height of 1.8 meters, Ling Hong almost shed tears.
But soon, Ling Hong recovered his usual sunny expression. He put on a mask, pushed the door open and walked to the side of ruan Xiaoqing’s bed.
“Little Qing, did you hear that? boss Yuan said he has released a new dish and it’s the Jiangsu dish that you’ve been thinking about for a long time. Do you want to eat it?” Ling Hong sat by the bed and said gently.
“I didn’t have time to reply to you when you apologized to me the other day. You have to wake up soon. You said that you don’t like to owe others. I’m paying for the medical expenses. I’m still waiting for you to work for me to pay off your debts.” Ling Hong’s words were a little messy, but his voice had been very light.
However, ruan Xiaoqing had been sleeping soundly with her eyes closed. Ling Hong looked at ruan Xiaoqing while talking and his thoughts went back to the night two days ago.
As usual, after the two of them finished their meal, Ling Hong sent ruan Xiaoqing back. This was a tacit understanding that they had formed long ago. Although they hadn’t officially been together yet, Ling Hong had always been looking at himself as a boyfriend.
Moreover, he knew that the reason why ruan Xiaoqing didn’t agree to his proposal was not that she didn’t have any feelings for him, but that she didn’t dare to. Therefore, Ling Hong basically wanted to confess his love to her every time he got the chance.
It was necessary to be thick-skinned when it came to relationships. This was the most important one of the 18 moves of chasing a girl that Ling Hong had revised.
On the way back, Ling Hong looked at the bright street lamp and said again,””Xiao Qing, look at how bright the street lights are tonight. Why don’t you be my girlfriend? that way, you can enjoy the bright street lights every day.”
Ruan Xiaoqing couldn’t help but smile when she heard such a strange confession.””Your words are getting stranger and stranger.”
“I won ‘T. I’m telling you the truth.” Ling Hong shook his head and looked at ruan Xiaoqing with a smile.
“It’s not strange at all. The streetlights are always so bright every day. They have been so bright since boss Yuan opened his restaurant here and will always be so bright in the future. ” Ruan Xiaoqing said playfully.
“That’s right, so are you willing to watch such bright street lights with me every day?” Ling Hong stroked his hair and said confidently.
Seeing Ling Hong’s funny look, ruan Xiaoqing couldn’t help but want to laugh again. However, she suddenly felt a sharp pain. Ruan Xiaoqing was used to it and didn’t even frown. When she was about to say something again, she underestimated the pain.
The immense pain instantly numbed ruan Xiaoqing’s entire body, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.
It was Ling Hong at the side who quickly held ruan Xiaoqing’s arms and prevented her from falling down. Ling Hong looked at ruan Xiaoqing who had her head lowered in front of him and felt flustered in his heart. However, he still said jokingly,””Hey, it’s fine if you don’t agree, but you don’t have to scare me by falling.”
Although he said that, Ling Hong was actually getting more and more flustered in his heart. He felt that ruan Xiaoqing’s body was sliding down as if she couldn’t stand up. Ling Hong could only hold her thin arms more tightly to help her stand up.
After quite a while, ruan Xiaoqing raised her head. She looked at Ling Hong with a completely pale face and said,””I’m sorry, I can ‘t. ”
Ruan Xiaoqing forced herself to finish this sentence before closing her eyes.
“Little Qing!” Ling Hong couldn’t care about anything else. He directly carried her and ran to the parking lot at the intersection of Taoxi road.
Ling Hong felt that he had never run as fast as he did at this moment. Fine sweat oozed out of his forehead. He held ruan Xiaoqing firmly and steadily with a serious expression on his face and his steps were fast.
At this time, Ling Hong felt that his mind was even clearer. He was so clear-headed that he even called Dr. Herbert while driving.
Ling Hong suddenly heard himself telling Dr. Herbert about ruan Xiaoqing’s situation calmly. There was a kind of deep-rooted calmness in his voice, which even made Ling Hong a little scared himself.
The car drove steadily on the road and soon arrived at the entrance of the private hospital where he had agreed to meet professor Herbert. There, professor Herbert and a team of doctors and nurses were waiting.
Ling Hong turned off the engine and carried ruan Xiaoqing to the first aid bed according to Dr. Herbert’s instructions. Then, he followed them to the door of the emergency room and was stopped by the door.
Ling Hong stared at the gate and was a little stunned. It was Manion who broke the silence,””He’ll be fine. Herbert’s medical skills are brilliant,” Kieran said.
“Yes, it’ll be fine. She hasn’t agreed to my request yet. I’m sorry, but it doesn’t count as an answer.” Ling Hong turned his head and said earnestly.
“Yes, it’ll be fine.” Sharon also nodded and chimed in.
“Yes.” Ling Hong nodded his head heavily.
Professor Herbert worked with the local doctors for three hours before the door to the emergency room opened again.
At that time, Ling Hong was the only one left at the door. Manion had left for a long time with Sharon who needed to rest.
Looking at the medical staff in white robes coming out one after another, Ling Hong stood still for a while and couldn’t even move.
“I think my feet are a little numb after standing for too long.” While Ling Hong was thinking that, he was looking straight at professor Herbert.
“Hey, Gurner, how are you?” Professor Herbert took the initiative to speak.
“I’m fine. Doctor, may I ask …” Ling Hong couldn’t quite say it out loud. He just stared at the door of the emergency room. His meaning was self-evident.
“She’s fine now. She just needs to rest. ” Professor Herbert said immediately.
“Thank you,” he said. Ling Hong suddenly felt a kind of joy after surviving a disaster. He was about to enter the emergency room with big steps.
“Wait, Gurner. I think you need to know the details.” Professor Herbert stopped Ling Hong from going in immediately.
“Alright,” he said. Ling Hong stopped and then turned to look at professor Herbert.
The two of them arrived at professor Herbert’s temporary office in silence. Ling Hong didn’t sit down. He just looked at the professor on the chair and waited for him to speak first.
“We’ve already discussed miss ruan’s condition last time. This is just another relapse.” Professor Herbert flipped through the medical records.
“I know,” Ling Hong nodded his head.
“This means that her condition is starting to worsen. You have to be mentally prepared.” Professor Herbert did not use any professional vocabulary and said directly.
After all, professor Herbert had actually gone back to his own country once before. He was then invited by Ling Hong and Manion to come back again. It was because Sharon and ruan Xiaoqing could only eat one-third of the food in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
During this period of time, Manion, Ling Hong and professor Herbert had already discussed this matter countless times. They knew the situation very well, which was why professor Herbert was so direct.
“She’ll be fine. She likes to eat boss Yuan’s cooking very much. Boss Yuan has served many new dishes. ” Ling Hong said.
“Yes, it’s very important, but it’s not medicine. You have to keep your mind.” Professor Herbert said.
“I know. I want to go and accompany her.” Ling Hong nodded his head and didn’t say anything.
“Go on.” Professor Herbert nodded his head. Looking at Ling Hong who was about to walk out of the office, he said,””I will try my best.”
“Thank you, doctor.” Ling Hong nodded his head and then walked out of the office.
